Sparse matrix factorization is the problem of approximating a matrix $\mathbf{Z}$ by a product of $J$ sparse factors $\mathbf{X}^{(J)} \mathbf{X}^{(J-1)} \ldots \mathbf{X}^{(1)}$. This paper focuses on identifiability issues that appear in…
We give a procedure that can be used to automatically satisfy invariants of a certain shape. These invariants may be written with the operations intersection, composition and converse over binary relations, and equality over these…
A binary matrix has the consecutive ones property (C1P) if it is possible to order the columns so that all 1s are consecutive in every row. In [McConnell, SODA 2004 768-777] the notion of incompatibility graph of a binary matrix was…
A matrix is \emph{simple} if it is a (0,1)-matrix and there are no repeated columns. Given a (0,1)-matrix $F$, we say a matrix $A$ has $F$ as a \emph{configuration}, denoted $F\prec A$, if there is a submatrix of $A$ which is a row and…
Despite the popularity of low-rank matrix completion, the majority of its theory has been developed under the assumption of random observation patterns, whereas very little is known about the practically relevant case of non-random…
Given a set $X$, a collection $\mathcal{F} \subset \mathcal{P}(X)$ is said to be $k$-Sperner if it does not contain a chain of length $k+1$ under set inclusion and it is saturated if it is maximal with respect to this probability. Gerbner…
A subspace of the space, L(n), of traceless complex $n\times n$ matrices can be specified by requiring that the entries at some positions $(i,j)$ be zero. The set, $I$, of these positions is a (zero) pattern and the corresponding subspace…
We consider the problem of exact low-rank matrix completion from a geometric viewpoint: given a partially filled matrix M, we keep the positions of specified and unspecified entries fixed, and study how the minimal completion rank depends…
We extend the theory of matrix completion to the case where we make Poisson observations for a subset of entries of a low-rank matrix. We consider the (now) usual matrix recovery formulation through maximum likelihood with proper…
Efficient resource allocation is one of the main driving forces of human civilizations. Of the many existing approaches to resource allocation, matrix completion is one that is frequently applied. In this paper, we investigate a special…
Recently, fundamental conditions on the sampling patterns have been obtained for finite completability of low-rank matrices or tensors given the corresponding ranks. In this paper, we consider the scenario where the rank is not given and we…
Consider the set of scalars $\alpha$ for which the $\alpha$th Hadamard power of any $n\times n$ positive semi-definite (p.s.d.) matrix with non-negative entries is p.s.d. It is known that this set is of the form $\{0, 1, \dots, n-3\}\cup…
Let $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field $\mathbb{K}$ and $\mathfrak{m}= (x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ be the irredundant maximal ideal of $S$. For an ideal $I \subset S$, let $\mathrm{sat}(I)$ be the minimum number $k$…
We show that the number of linear spaces on a set of $n$ points and the number of rank-3 matroids on a ground set of size $n$ are both of the form $(cn+o(n))^{n^2/6}$, where $c=e^{\sqrt 3/2-3}(1+\sqrt 3)/2$. This is the final piece of the…
In a projective plane $\Pi _{q}$ (not necessarily Desarguesian) of order $q,$ a point subset $S$ is saturating (or dense) if any point of $\Pi _{q}\setminus S$ is collinear with two points in$~S$. Using probabilistic methods, the following…
We consider the problem of noisy matrix completion, in which the goal is to reconstruct a structured matrix whose entries are partially observed in noise. Standard approaches to this underdetermined inverse problem are based on assuming…
This paper is continuation of the study of the 1-box pattern in permutations introduced by the authors in \cite{kitrem4}. We derive a two-variable generating function for the distribution of this pattern on 132-avoiding permutations, and…
We study the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular set function subject to linear packing constraints. An instance of this problem consists of a matrix $A \in [0,1]^{m \times n}$, a vector $b \in [1,\infty)^m$, and a monotone…
We construct an injection from the set of permutations of length $n$ that contain exactly one copy of the decreasing pattern of length $k$ to the set of permutations of length $n+2$ that avoid that pattern. We then prove that the generating…
Zeros of rational transfer function matrices $R(\lambda)$ are the eigenvalues of associated polynomial system matrices $P(\lambda)$, under minimality conditions. In this paper we define a structured condition number for a simple eigenvalue…
